Chapter 81: Loyalty—Part Three
Translated by K of Exiled Rebels Scanlations
At once, Wei WuXian folded the two pieces of paper and put theht? I can’t believe you still have your spiritual powers! Congrats, congrats But I’d like to ask you—if you aren’t up to no good, why did you hide the fact that you didn’t lose your spiritual powers?”
Of course, the two pieces of paper weren’t torn pages froe Ji back in the RooJi left one copy for Lan XiChen to compare and examine, while Wei WuXian put away the two copies of his and Lan wangJi’s, taking them with him He happened to have been able to use it to trick Su She so that he grew suspicious and irritated Along with hiain and again, he became i to say anything, Lan wangJi simply tossed out a surprise attack, and Su She exposed himself
Everyone darted out of the way In reality, it wasn’t necessary When Lan wangJi attacked, it was the sa Su She had to use all his abilities so as to not be defeated He staggered all the way up to the stairs Looking down, he happened to see the red array under his feet Lan wangJi’s brows knit together
Wei WuXian thought to hi to destroy the array that was just mended!
As he thought, Su She bit down on his tongue, held blood in his round The splatter of the blood covered the red, darkening lines Lan wangJi could no longer care about the fight with hilare, he tried to repaint the array Su She used the chance to take out a talisround Smoke and blue flames arose
A transportation talisman!
TheSect’s cemetery was familiar with the GusuLan Sect’s sword techniques, while Su MinShan was a foreign disciple of the GusuLan Sect’s, in correspondence with this condition The mist-faced person who had appeared so many times was none else but Su She!
Wei WuXian got down beside Lan wangJi, “How is it?”
Lan wangJi painted on the ground for a while with his bleeding finger, then shook his head The new blood had already coinal array It was impossible to mend Wei WuXian took his hand and wiped off the dirt and blood on it with his own sleeve, “Stop trying if it’s useless”
The array was on the verge of being coSu Sect had blank looks on their faces It see the wrong melodies nor any way to prevent their spiritual powers froinal plan, the MolingSu Sect’s disciples, like the others, were supposed to die They were scared that other people would want to seek revenge upon theroup Yet, everyone was already panicked within the Dey for any revenge
A few sect leaders clutched onto their sons, cautioning them, “When the corpses rush inside all at once, protect yourself and try to get out Stay alive no matter what! You understand?!”
As Jin Ling heard this, he felt hie, but so si calare at hi finally turned to him
He see with your eyes?”
“…” Jin Ling was quite annoyed, “Nothing!”
Wei WuXian tore off a part of his sleeve that was clean and treated the wound on Lan wangJi’s hand Suddenly, a figure dashed out froJi flicked the fingers of his right hand With a jarring clash, he soed to flick away the rash blade
Wei WuXian turned to look, “Why is it you again?”
Froered a few steps back before he collapsed on the ground It was Yi WeiChun He held his sith blood-red eyes, “Wei WuXian, those things you just said—I don’t believe a single word in them!”
Wei WuXian, “Everything was exposed Su She had already attacked and ran away How come you still don’t believe it?”
Yi WeiChun lunged again, “I don’t believe it! I won’t believe a single word you say!”
Hatred could blind a person’s eyes,in favor of his enemy
At this point, many terrified shouts came from in front of them, “It’s broken!”
“The array has broken!”
“They’re co in!”
With bare hands, Wen Ning threw a row of tattered corpses flying away Yet, no matter what, he was only one Without the barrier for Cave was finally unable to hold against the crashi+ng waves of the corpses Rancid roars immediately filled the empty cave!
Jin Ling had never seen so many fierce corpses before, much less at such a close distance He could feel his scalp tingle, clenching the sword hilt of Suihua Yet, suddenly, his fist was peeled open, and a cold object was stuffed inside He looked down in surprise, “Uncle?”
Jiang Cheng propped hiy His figure wavered slightly, “Try losing Zidian and see what happens!”
Lan SiZhui, Lan JingYi, and a few others charged with their swords, “General Ghost! We can come help you!”
Sect Leader OuYang could neither stop his son nor stand up, bellowing, “ZiZhen, come back!”
OuYang ZiZhen brandished his sword fiercely as he turned around, “Don’t worry, Dad! I’ll protect you!”
Yet, just as he turned around, a withered hand stretched toward his throat Sect Leader OuYang was almost scared to death as he wailed, “ZiZhen!!!”
At that preciseZiZhen and threw hiroup of sword cultivators fro for quite a while, so his stamina had recovered Many people were astonished by the force of his sword Lan SiZhui ielding his blade swiftly when he heard a loud clang from behind him Somebody blocked an attack that came for his back
Lan SiZhui exclai Master Jin, why are you here too?”
When Jin Ling saw that all of the people around his age had rushed over, he couldn’t hold hi was unaware, he stuffed Zidian’s ring back into his hand and sprinted toward the crowd, all the way up to thewas about to chase after hi He felt that Sandu was no lighter than hundreds of pounds Two female corpses threw themselves at him from both directions
Jiang Cheng cursed As he lifted his sword again, another pair of hands tore the two corpses into pieces, “Sect Leader…”
Jiang Cheng lost his te away and cursed, “Get the fuck away fro!!!”
Lan JingYi felt chills go down his spine, “I think you should go back! Your uncle is gonna eat someone”
Jin Ling ignored Jiang Cheng’s roar, scarier than even the corpses before hio back!”
OuYang ZiZhen disappeared for a while after being caught by his father, but he rushed over nonetheless, “Wow, this is the first time I knew that Mr Lan QiRen knows the sword and his swordsood!”
Lan JingYi’s voice was as loud as always, “Of course, who did you think was HanGuang-Jun and ZeWu-Jun’s teacher of swordsYi’s voice was as loud as always, “Of course, who did you think was HanGuang-Jun and ZeWu-Jun’s teacher of swordsmanshi+p before they reached sixteen?!”
Sect Leader brandished his sith all the courage he couldto the rest of the people in the Cave ere still blank-faced, “What are you waiting for?! It’s death awaiting if you don’t kill the—how co around?”
Under the influence of these boys passionately slashi+ng around,in the fight with their almost nonexistent stamina and spiritual powers
When Lan wangJi sliced the last corpse, that threw itself over, into two halves, mountains of corpses and rivers of blood had already for Cave
Everyone was clad in black, hardened blood, their chests filled with the pungent scent of blood After the long and hard battle, et the around Only a few sect leaders and the boys full of staainst their swords
Lan JingYi’s pupils seemed dilated, his complexion pale, “I… I have never killed so many corpses before… I, alone, killed at least thirty, no, forty of them…”
OuYang ZiZhen, “Me… too…”
After this, as if the boys round with a plop, never wanting to get up again
Jiang Cheng forced hi hiet hurt?!”
Jin Ling’s breaths even smelled like rust, “I didn’t I…”
Jiang Cheng i, “You didn’t?! Then I’ll et hurt and teach you the lesson! You da a deaf ear to my words?!”
However, after his slap, he couldn’t stand up any longer either He sat down, catching his breath as his eyes turned to the two sitting at the side of the De Cave closest to the outside
Both Wei WuXian and Lan wangJi were a mess Wei WuXian wore black, so he didn’t look as terrible, but Lan wangJi’s white robes had already been dyed into different shades of black and red,them almost hideous On his entire body, only his forehead ribbon could be considered clean, given how ripped in his hand, still steadily y
It was the first ti-Jun with such an untidy look, but nobody could care less about someone other than themselves One of the people spoke, “Is it… over…?”
Hearing this voice, the crowd coh such a battle and speak in such an energetic tone was indeed a th to respond to hi seemed so ecstatic that he was about to cry, “Thank Heavens, these corpses are finally all killed! Seeed to escape death this ti us, aren’t they?”
Influenced by his emotions, a few of the boys cheered as well One after another,the cheers, someone from the GusuLan Sect’s side exclaimed in a low voice, “Sir!”
Lan QiRen’s voice immediately sounded, “No need to help me”
Lan wangJi looked over only to see Lan QiRen cough up another few s, and began to meditate
Lan wangJi immediately went forth to feel Lan QiRen’s pause Just as he was about to pass spiritual energy to him, Lan QiRen stopped him, “There is no need! Our spiritual powers have not recovered yet Doing so is absolutely futile”
Lan wangJi put his hand back A few guest cultivators asked out of habit, “HanGuang-Jun, what should we do now?”
They only realized after they asked that the act was somewhat inappropriate However, Lan QiRen continued to rest, showing no sign that he was going to care Lan wangJi, “Rest for awhile and exa the wounded”

He’d always been quite an iure in the GusuLan Sect The disciples seemed as if their hearts could finally settle down a bit, answering in unison, “Yes!” Even their tone seemed somewhat steadier
Yet, before they had the chance to do anything, Wei WuXian interrupted, “Quiet”
His expression was serious, and everyone was quiet at once The feho had been cheering simmered down as well, one after another Everyone stared at hi Cave, all was silent apart from the people’s faint breaths
In comparison to the silence, another sound could be heard with more and more clarity
It was the sound of feet stepping on dry leaves, co from outside of the Cave And it wasn’t one person’s feet Those were dense, endless footsteps
This ti Cave didn’t even dare let out a single breath Countless petrified eyes looked outside the Cave They could see that within the dark forests, so slowly It was a dark, blurry fog, unable to distinguish, but as the sluggish footsteps beca objects, until their ashen cheeks, bony hands, and jagged fangs could be seen in full view
It was a neave of corpses
And it was greater than the previous one!
The people in the De Cave had just seen a ray of hope before the nextdread washed over the entire Cave, shadowing everyone Even Jin Ling, Lan SiZhui, and the other boys felt as though they were drowning in the spine-chilling dread, li numb Some of the people see the hope and passed out directly Others also broke into tears, while person was able to pick up their sword and continue fighting any longer
Even if Wen Ning, yet again, blocked thecould just one person last?
Suddenly, Wei WuXian spoke up, “HanGuang-Jun!” Lan wangJi turned around to look at hi”
The eyes of the others were led over by the conversation as well Wei WuXian, “Will you do it with me?”
Lan wangJi gazed at him He answered, firm and articulate, “I will”
Wei WuXian grinned before he took off his black robe
Under the black robe was a layer of white, already dyed half red However, it didn’t stop hi a few lines on it
As the lines grew clearer and clearer, the disbelief in eyes of the people watching hi at so stood up at once, his face full of shock, “What are you doing?”
Wei WuXian didn’t pay him any attention He continued to paint
When he stopped, what he as no longer a white robe It was a flag
A flag able to attract all dark creatures onto one single person—a spirit-attraction flag!
Wei WuXian stood alongside Lan wangJi as he waved at Lan SiZhui and the others The juniors all surrounded theo too, but was pressed back down by Jiang Cheng
Wei WuXian, “Later, when the second wave of corpses breaks in, I’-Jun will be responsible for killing theet They won’t pay any attention to you all Don’t engage in battle, just run outside as fast as you can”
